PEOPLES WAR: UNHEARD STORIES (BBC) (HB)

In the early 2000s, the BBC launched its most ambitious oral history project, to record the experiences of ordinary people who lived through World War II. Finally released from the archives, here are some of their stories: of everyday bravery, moments of terror, and life-affirming community. From soldiers in North Africa and POWs in East Asia, to evacuees in the British countryside and women in the factories, these are first-person accounts from Britons at home and abroad of the world’s most destructive conflict to date.
